Chapter 67 - Courting Ember
Ember's Pov
"I guess this is your stop," Jean said when we reached my gate, and I suddenly did not want the evening to end. It turned to look at him, hoping we had not reached that point in our relationship where there was a mind link,

"what's that for?" he asked,
"a shake goodbye?" I said, sounding lame to my own ears. He merely smiled and shook his head, not making an effort to shake me back,
"Keep your hand to yourself, Ms. Macgregor. You're going to make me feel like I'm not doing enough here."
"ahh, I see. There was an ulterior motive after all." his grin came so quickly, that it knocked me out,
"no ulterior motive though.. Just a man hoping you could love him, and accept being mates."
